+# Menu
+
+## 1. Purpose  
+This module defines the core interfaces for the menu layer in the DTS Viewer component, establishing a contract between the view and view model following the MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) pattern. It extends base abstractions (`IBaseView`, `IBaseViewModel`) to provide a minimal, focused interface hierarchy specifically for menu-related UI concerns—enabling separation of concerns, testability, and decoupled UI implementation while maintaining consistency with the broader codebase’s architectural patterns.
+
+## 2. Public Interface  
+- **`IMenuView`**  
+  *Signature:* `public interface IMenuView : IBaseView`  
+  *Behavior:* Represents the view layer for menu UI. It inherits from `IBaseView`, implying it adheres to the base view contract (e.g., lifecycle, binding context), but contains no additional members beyond inheritance. Its purpose is to serve as a typed marker interface for menu-specific views.
+
+- **`IMenuViewModel`**  
+  *Signature:* `public interface IMenuViewModel : IBaseViewModel`  
+  *Behavior:* Represents the view model for menu logic. It exposes a single read-only property `View` of type `IMenuView`, providing access to the associated view instance. This enables the view model to interact with or query the view when necessary (e.g., for coordination, state synchronization, or view-specific operations), while still maintaining separation of concerns.
+
+## 3. Invariants  
+- `IMenuView` must be implemented by any concrete class serving as the menu UI view.  
+- `IMenuViewModel` implementations must provide a non-null `View` property referencing an instance of a type that implements `IMenuView`.  
+- The `View` property in `IMenuViewModel` is expected to be set during initialization and remain stable for the lifetime of the view model (though not explicitly enforced by the interface).  
+- Both interfaces extend `IBaseView` and `IBaseViewModel` respectively, inheriting all invariants and contracts defined in those base interfaces (not shown here, but assumed to be part of the `DTS.Common.Base` namespace).
+
+## 4. Dependencies  
+- **Depends on:**  
+  - `DTS.Common.Base` (specifically `IBaseView` and `IBaseViewModel`)  
+- **Depended on by (inferred):**  
+  - Concrete implementations of `IMenuView` (e.g., WPF/WinForms/Xamarin UI controls)  
+  - Concrete implementations of `IMenuViewModel` (e.g., menu logic classes)  
+  - Framework or DI containers that resolve menu-related view/view model pairs  
+  - Higher-level components (e.g., shell or navigation services) that coordinate menu UI with other parts of the viewer  
+
+## 5. Gotchas  
+- The interfaces are intentionally minimal—`IMenuView` has no members beyond inheritance, and `IMenuViewModel` only exposes the `View` property. Developers should not expect built-in command, data binding, or event handling contracts here; those would be defined in derived interfaces or concrete classes.  
+- The `View` property in `IMenuViewModel` is not initialized by the interface itself; implementations must ensure it is set (likely via constructor or property injection) to avoid `NullReferenceException` at runtime.  
+- No guidance is provided on how view/view model pairing is established (e.g., via DI, factory, or manual wiring), which may lead to inconsistency across implementations.  
+- None identified from source alone.
